nice work on these 2 guys, makes me wish it didnt take me an hour to get to the beach on a good day.
all the usual stuff going for these 2, nice light, low angles etc, the only bummer is that the light angles didnt quite give you the light in the eyes, you would take these every day of the week though
good work

Lovely shots Alan. Looks like Potato Point was a bountiful area for birds.

Thanks Stephen and Gabby. Yes, it's a great spot for scenery and birds. And not too far to drive.

Nice,well done getting down to their level,really makes the pics so much better,my problem with getting that low is getting up again.Good job not blowing the white out in what looks like fairly strong light.
